Dear Sirs As a consumer of product rather then a modeler I thought it constructive for Daz to get the point of view of someone not interested in the semantics of the situation, but the long lasting ramifications to those who only use the products to make pictures which are pleasing to themselves and others. I am a consumer of your products and have been very happy with them to date. In fact by my record this year to date I have spent $295.27 at your store, you will note that is significantly more then the original poser program itself cost. I have also been glad to spend at other communities significant moneys in additional products to enhance my experience with poser and especially your figures. It distresses me deeply your stand on outside vendors marketing clothing that is designed to conform precisely with your figures, as this is the biggest headache which poser users struggle with. I understand your stance on intellectual property, and the need to protect it. But I cannot believe that there is widespread enough abuse to merit such a stance and if any abuse exists it is likely by those unscrupulous enough to download illegal copies of your products in the first place. And for that type of criminal your restrictions will mean nothing. The people such restrictions fall hardest on are people like me who lawfully purchase products and gratefully download free stuff that skilled artisans lovingly produce for the betterment of the artistic community. The undercurrent of recent posts lead me to believe that such restrictions will lead to an attitude of why bother to do my best work if I have to get Dazs O.K. to distribute a piece of conforming clothing which covers more then X quantity of the body, by that time all the effort has gone into it and if they restrict my ability to distribute it as I see fit all that work will have gone to waste. I am not a modeler and I never will be. My talents and patience does not lead me in that direction. But one of the things that attracted me most to the poser medium was the sense of community that pervades every piece of artwork. When I create a piece I am in a sense creating a collage of works that is the effort the larger community in general and your company is a large part of that. It is my plea to you not to stifle that vibrant creative spark with the heavy handed restrictions your position in the community affords you, for too many restrictions will surely chafe at and eventually drive away the artistic spirit of this dynamic community. Though a vigorous stand on protection of intellectual property is within your rights, and may benefit you in the short run, It could well damage you in the long run. For you as well as the smallest private vendor rely on the goodwill of the community for the well-being of your business. wdupre
